The former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader and high school teacher who pled guilty in October to having a sexual relationship with a student will have a new accessory as part of her wardrobe because of a parole violation in January.

Sarah Jones reportedly will have to wear an electronic monitoring device after breaking a condition of her plea deal in which she could not leave her native Kentucky without her parole officer's permission.

According to Kenton County court documents, the parole officer was made aware that Jones was in Cincinnati on Jan. 29, 2013, to do a radio interview on 700 WLW. The interview was related to Jones' involvement in the sex charges against her and her recent civil case against the website, thedirty.com.

Jones is permitted to be in Ohio for work and school purposes only. She currently works for her attorney, Eric Deters, and attends classes at the University of Cincinnati.

In other Bengals offseason news, linebacker Brandon Joiner officially rejoined the team after serving eight months in prison on 2007 robbery and drug charges he committed as a freshman at Texas A&M. Rather than release Joiner after his sentence in May, the Bengals placed him on its reserve-did not report list, allowing them to retain his rights upon his release.

While the team no longer has any affiliation with Jones, it was willing to take a continued chance on Joiner because of character references from college coaches and even the governor of Arkansas, all stating the community service and positive changes he has made in the past six years. The Bengals had great success with another undrafted free agent linebacker in 2012, giving Vontaze Burfict a chance despite his checkered past. Burfict started 14 games for the Bengals and led the team in tackles. If they can get even a fraction of that production and good behavior from Joiner, the Bengals' willingness to take chances on so-called "character guys" might finally result in something more than bad headlines.
